3	''Hello Hero'' is a Real-time RolePlayingGame released by Korean developer Fincon in Feburary 2013. The game involves a team of five heroes of your choice to take on the invading Keronic Army.

5	Although the basic plotline is pretty [[{{Cliche}} by-the-number]], the gameplay is where it gets interesting: instead of the player selecting what attack to use, against what target, etc., each of the characters on your side and your opponent's will automatically attack a random opponent based on their dexterity. While this is happening, the player has the option to select a hero's skill to have them use it in battle to even the odds. These skills recharge based on real time instead of spending any kind of MP, meaning that they can be used an unlimited amount of times but have a cooldown. Thus, using each skill in order and/or when they are absolutely needed is key to strategy.

9	The game reached the US in the latter half of 2013, and has since reached various countries around the world. It's also been given a live-action trailer, several paper toys, at one point showing up to a convention, among others. You'd think that a game like that'd be really popular, right? Well...''[[BaitAndSwitch no]]''.

11	Unfortunately for Fincon, the game's been ''completely'' overshadowed by its AlternateCompanyEquivalent, ''Seven Knights'' from Netmarble (known in the US for developing VideoGame/MarvelFutureFight and VideoGame/DragonBallOnline). Said game copies... ''more than a few'' elements from Hello Hero and yet has somehow become more popular, topping 5 million downloads while Hello Hero still hasn't made a single million. Netmarble also ended up beating the system into the ground by creating several other games using the Hello Hero system, creating a bad reputation for the real-time [=RPG=] format in general.

14	* AmericanKirbyIsHardcore: The US commercials commonly refer to the game's characters as... ahem... ''"[[SelfDeprecation f***ed up]]"''.

18	* NoFourthWall: As a direct result of the ExcusePlot.
